Exploring: Downtown Toronto Canada

Toronto, Canada

[@jefflacey154]

The smell of cigarettes was in fact the smell of the forest fire smoke a great distance away. Same phenomena occurred in NYC

[@caroldavis6104]

You drove by some of the most beautiful architecture in Toronto and didn’t even notice. Old City Hall, New City Hall, Gridiron Building, St Lawrence Market. Why on earth were you looking for Moss Park which is subsidized housing?

[@jschap712]

You could have gotten a good view of the lake by driving along Lakeshore Blvd (personally, it's my favourite way of heading into the city when I need to go downtown), and maybe take a ferry to Toronto Island to the beaches there. And you could have gotten an amazing view from the CN Tower.

[@karenpower1643]

I'm Canadian and lived in New York City for 5 years and moved back home to Toronto 9 months ago. I will say that your comment about Toronto being quiet is spot on. The difference is that people in Toronto and Canada overall are more civilized. You won't see people banging on the hood of a car and screaming at the driver, which I've seen ALOT in NYC.

Good way to catch a good beating

This is too idealized, there's assholes everywhere. Toronto included. There's been footage of a road rage fight on one of the major 400 series highways in Toronto.

Someone lied to you about Moss Park... it's one of the worst neighbourhoods in the city

[@historyunleashed551]

3:23 one of my sisters works part time at the ROM in Toronto and goes to the U of T. She is studying stuff very similar to what I did in university. Unfortunately she is out of the country at the moment or I may have been able to set you guys up with a meeting to possible attempt to answer some of those questions and maybe even a tour 🙂 enjoy your day guys!

[@dennisglenn9475]

It's not a "dinosaur museum". It's a museum that among many other things has dinosaur bones

[@louyht7]

Toronto seem like a cool city. I hope Nashville will be like Toronto in the next 20-30 years.

[@loanokaharbor8303]

Streets look clean, nice city. Was what San Francisco use to look like before homeless and thugs took over in SF. Toronto nice but too cold in winter! 🥶

[@zigzag00]

Vancouver is beautiful and doesn't have harsh winters!

[@northlander4370]

everywhere is too cold in winter ...not just the big smoke .

[@ahmedzakikhan7639]

It's a bit colder than New York city and as cold as Chicago to be honest.

[@jschap712]

At the end of the previous video I was thinking "Hey, they're about to drive past the dinosaur museum!" (the Royal Ontario Museum), but, nah, you had to turn down Spadina. I have to say, though, being that close to Niagara Falls and not going? Huge mistake.

[@Arian0027]

Omg great seeing you guys in Canada!!! Y’all need to go to Niagara Falls, Canadian side, the views will be really good for your channel and money. Put a catchy title and thumbnail and it will help pay for your trip. Plus I know Jose will love it there. It’s incredible. Enjoy your trip and Katie so proud of you honey on your accomplishments and real estate license, super proud of both of you ‼️

[@willbygosh4887]

No if you visit Niagara Falls stay on the Canadian Side to avoid going through customs again,the Canadian side is much nicer anyway then head to Montreal before you visit the Capitol of Canada Ottawa,if you want the true European experience visit Quebec City.

[@MrVeteranVlogs]

Great video. Are you going to ride around the suburbs

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

We did several videos i. Toronto

[@MyViewToronto]

The traffic is a fraction of what it used to be. Before 2020, it would be constant gridlock.

[@ShawnMKouri]

Toronto is a really great city I heard. Housing over there is very expensive. But I have some family there. Good luck finding the real streets of Toronto. I don’t think you’re going to see much of that. BTW. Lots of condos in Downtown, just like Downtown Miami.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

I found 😅… video soon

[@Johngengelbach2]

Their light rail trains look similar to the ones in downtown Houston.

[@jolly7728]

Bike lanes?

[@meggo329]

The signs infront of the dinosaurs tell you which ones are real and which ones are plaster

Do you feel quality of life in Toronto is better than Florida??

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

By far..

[@julianbasso8034]

did you go to younge and dundas

[@mking1982098]

I really dob't know what you are talking about regarding smoke smell. I don't currently live in Toronto but I did for many years. I'm very sensitive to tobacco smell and I've never noticed an issue in downtown Toronto. Smoking rates in Canada are significantly lower than they are in the US, so I can't make sense of that complaint.

[@pingpong3311]

This was recorded during the wildfires. He actually didn't know and thought everyone was smoking 🤣

[@Dangic23]

Very weird how an imaginary line makes people north of the line civilized, and south of the lines savages.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Detroit - Windsor.. you tell me

[@jamesmichaelfrank]

It's NOT the line doing that 💡😃

[@act_sion]

​@@jamesmichaelfrank Nope ! It is the mindset, education politics etc

No, just the difference between two countries, in History, culture, political systems, and Education.

I don't know about anybody else but I am pretty quiet because I learn a lot more by listening than talking.

Museums does get a lot of views depending on museum and some don’t let u record

[@waltonboys9438]

Wow it literally looks like y’all are just in one of the bigger cities in the US ❤

[@northlander4370]

what is it supposed to look like ? , maybe all the bigger cities in the U S look like Toronto , only without the guns !

[@terryomalley1974]

A kilometer is a bit over half a mile. We used to use miles in Canada, too, until the government made us go metric in 1980.

[@pingpong3311]

Labour Day 1977, all speed limits were in km/h.

[@terryomalley1974]

@@pingpong3311 That's what I thought, 1977. Then, they changed how gas was sold from gallons to litres in 1979-80. Right?

[@pingpong3311]

@@terryomalley1974 Yes. 1979, gas pumps were in litres.

[@airborne63]

But we don't have 'kilometers' (sic) we have kilometres, a metre of distance being an international standard...and so is the spelling. A "meter' is a device used for measuring something....a metre...is a unit of distance. Similarly, it doesn't take much to read a gas pump or container of liquid to see that we have 'litres' not 'liters' (sic)

The average house price in Toronto is $1,145,700. Median household income is $96,700. Average salary is only $39,000. No bueno. I'm sure there are a lot of high paying jobs though.

[@bradmcdowell9168]

Very inaccurate

[@matzrat5006]

2/3 rds of a mile-ish.

[@canadiandude24]

The reason why people are more quiet is since the city has noise and public nuisance bylaws.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Oh crap.. i need to be careful 🤣

[@sirjohneh]

yeah but really it's just the culture. Canadians are, by nature, not in-your-face people so unless it's a special event where we're all there to sing dance, cheers etc, we assume that everyone around is doing their own thing so we stay out of their faces. It's like we don't talk or interact, we just do it peacefully, and when it's cheering, singing, dancing time, then we let it all out

[@Art_V101]

1.609 kilometers in one mile,so you drive 10 miles it's like just over 16 kilometers

[@itsmewill3167]

here in canada we never had angry PM we still happy people no yell to each other

[@kashusklay9]

After watching the Oshawa, I thought maybe you might do better in Toronto, but it's almost like you avoided hitting the real city. Didn't even hit Yonge/Dundas which is basically like Toronto's Time Square. Really bad representation tbh. Wish I could say different. *4k World Wanderings* did a walkthrough around the same time. Much better video & feel of Toronto. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6mYkJdmg96KhZosi=RX9oVYjGRVeQMUdc

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

I don’t wanna see what everyone else did,

[@kashusklay9]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS That's fine, but then you can't make broad statements about a city you didn't really explore. You can say "I didn't go to the major areas" but this is my opinion of what I did see. You spoke like you know Toronto. I've lived in Florida as well. Everywhere has its zones. America is a lot older than Canada, so will have more physically run down areas, but ppl are ppl. There are marginalized and messed up ppl everywhere.

lol funny that you kept mentioning cigarette smoke. smoking rates in Canada and the US are identical and both remarkably low compared to europe. I wonder if you were getting whiffs of construction pollution of something

[@missg933]

So many traffic lights to wait for and all the monorails, pedestrian crossings, bike riders, uggh, no wonder they walk and don't drive.

[@sirjohneh]

that's by design - you literally can't accommodate *all* the cars from the entire region, so the streets and subways/streetcars/regional rail etc take everyone else and leave the streets for the people. Transit isn't perfect, but it's getting better, and generally I don't do the drive that these guys did, I'd just take the subway and jump on and off wherever I need

[@stugooden7826]

Downtown Toronto ain’t anything special. It’s an overpriced concrete jungle. A more drivable New York City is pretty spot on, but I would say with even less excitement
